The writing on the wall is clear, Telangana the 29th state of India is awaiting its birth. While we are lucky to be here when this long cherished day comes. Let us remember those who laid down their lives for Telangana, the 390 students who were shot dead and the countless others who carried aloft the Telangana flame for the last 50 years.
Telangana diehards like Pratap Kishore, EV Padmanabham, Vandematram Ram Chander Rao and countless others. Pratap Kishore the founder of Telangana Praja Samiti was the ideologue who ignited the movement in 1968. Pratap Kishore as the General Secretary of the TPS kept alive the Telangana issue by organizing numerous area wise marches, meetings, and conventions in Warangal and Hyderabad.
In 1987 he along with four others walked from Hyderabad to Delhi to meet Rajiv Gandhi and apprise him of the need for a separate state. A ritual which the Telangana Praja Samiti follows to date is observing November 1 as a day of mourning with fasting and prayers at the Telangana Martyrs Memorial in front of the AP assembly. There are many unsung heroes like Pratap Kishore, who are not here today to see their lives work being fulfilled. We are the favored ones and will have to answer our children and our fathers if we falter now.
Let us not let go of the momentum and keep the pressure on, there are many small ways in which we can compel the creation of Telangana state.
1. Refuse to pay state tax as this is imposed by the AP Govt, which we do not recognize.
2. If you are a police officer refuse to arrest or entertain complaints against Telangana demonstrators.
3. If you are a government servant working in the registrars office, refuse to register any property in the name of a person other than from Telangana.
4. If you are recruiting for any post in Telangana, reject any person not from Telangana.
5. Make your purchases from shops and establishments that support Telangana.
6. Boycott all papers and channels that fail to report on the movement for Telangana.
7. And lastly let us be alert and prempt any moves by KCR to do a M.Chenna Reddy act Telangana is ours and we must achieve it..!
